I spent a month working different airflow patterns, heat zones, etc. (I now have 5 windows for my box, with different fan configurations in each - This was VERY VERY fun). What you see is the best configuration I could attain at LOAD temps, not idle. Also, I purchased an Artic Cooling Freezer Xtreme with my Phenom II, after many different confgurations, the Stock AMD cooler FAR out performed the Freezer Extreme (about 7c difference at load). I assume this is because of the high amount of airflow I have running through the case. But if you own a Phenom II and are not getting under 34c idle w/o any overclock, yank out that stock cooler and try it. You may be VERY suprised. As always, votes and comments are always appreciated. Hope all of you like it, as I LOVE IT!!
